Ok, first fix $\_POSR[phone] to $\_POST…

next:  
do you have the mail() function enabled on your server?  
what happens if you upload this to your site, and you open the page?

```php

<?php
mail("YOUR@EMAIL.HERE","test","Ok, it works"); 
?>

```

Lastly:  
What happens if you do this?

```php

<?php

$sendTo = "mail@slickeye.com";
$subject = "Profile Email";

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] .">
";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"];

$message = $_POST["comments"];
$aim = $_POST["aim"];
$phone = $_POST["phone"];

print $_POST["phone"];
print $_POST["aim"];
print $_POST["email"];
print $_POST["name"];

//mail($sendTo, $subject, $comments, $headers);
?>

```

give those a shot, and post back here if none of them work.
